norbold Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 Fred Leavis - Arthur Reynolds Jack Sharp - Jack Smythe Allen Kilfoyle - Jack Williams Jack Newlands - Speedy Jack Bert Gerrish - Herb Peters There was also Johnny Bull who may have been Eric Spencer, but may not... All of them rode at Norwich in the early 1930s. The reason they rode under assumed names was because they were contracted to ride for other clubs (Leavis and Sharp for Wimbledon for example) and Norwich was an unlicensed track.

Dave the Mic Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 (edited) Gary Gugliemi - Gary Williams. Supposedly because the Scots couldn't get their toungues around (leave it) the pronunciation of his real surname when he first came to the UK.
